Trust me,it was shite in 318 yesterday,its not normaly that subdued.I have a new problem with the atmosphere. 5 of us up from Kent in 318 but we couldn't get tickets together even after being online for hours on release date.
So we were scattered around 318 is five like a song. Fans around me weren't singing and my mates said the same.
4 of us are foc been going for decades. Whilst I enjoyed the game I missed being with my mates.
We have another 3 games booked so far but again we aren't next together. If this is the same next season I'll knock it on the head and call it aday after 40yrs of match going. Seven and a half hrs drive to get to the Etihad than not sitting with your mates to enjoy the game. What's the point ?.
This is the first time we haven't even been able to get seats as a pair or more. I didn't enjoy not being with my mates, I missed the banter, the joy of scoring, the singing etc. If am honest I'm not really looking forward the next next 3 games we have.
Going to the game is about having a crack with your mates, I missed that but most of all I missed being sat with my lad.
I'm not saying us 5 made any difference to the atmosphere but us 5 didn't really sing because no one around us was really singing.
PS I don't think having the legend lounge in the middle of the SS works
Why do they have to close the bars and kiosks during the match? That would instantly relieve some of the issues.Can’t be arsed making its own thread, but they really need to sort the queues out otherwise we’ll have people leaving earlier and earlier before half time. Worst they’ve been, and looks like it stems from having to scan your season ticket for the poxy discount.
Possibly so that the people on the end of a row get to be able to watch the match without forever having to let people in and out??? At half time all at the same time fine. Not missing anything but not all through the game thank you.Why do they have to close the bars and kiosks during the match? That would instantly relieve some of the issues.
And mine especially after 4 or 5 pints of EffesLooked and sounded pretty good on my telly
I had 5 pint cans of san miguel between coming out of work at 1pm to going in at 2.45pm,;-)And mine especially after 4 or 5 pints of Effes
They sing it to provoke,to be fair, it got one of the best reactions in ss3 yeaterday.All these away teams go down singing football in a library chants you would think their grounds would be bouncing every week. Been plenty of away games with City and many home crowds in England are worse than ours.
Its not, the problem is getting people to singIt is.
We can’t hear SSL3.
And we can just about hear 111,110 and 109, but only when they all sing.
The Etihad is absolutely dreadful for acoustics.
